We give a geometric definition of smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stacks using the action of a ‘‘torus. We show that our definition is equivalent to the one of Borisov, Chen and Smith in terms of stacky fans. In particular, we give a geometric inter- pretation of the combinatorial data contained in a stacky fan. We also give a bottom up classification in terms of simplicial toric varieties and fiber products of root stacks. Contents Introduction 1. Notations and background 1.1. Conventions and notations 1.2.

Stacky version of Zariskis Main Theorem References Introduction A toric variety is a normal, separated variety X with an open embedding T , X of a torus such that the action of the torus on itself extends to an action on X. To a toric! variety one can associate a fan, a collection of cones in the lattice of one-parameter subgroups of T. Toric varieties are very important in algebraic geometry, since algebro-geometric prop- erties of a toric variety translate in combinatorial properties of the fan, allowing to test con- jectures and produce interesting examples. In [10] Borisov, Chen and Smith define toric Deligne-Mumford stacks as explicit global quotient (smooth) stacks, associated to combinatorial data called stacky fans. Later, Iwanari proposed in [22] a definition of toric triple as an orbifold with a torus action having a dense orbit isomorphic to the torus1) and he proved that the 2-category of toric triples is equivalent to the 2-category of ‘‘toric stacks (We refer to [22] for the definition of ‘‘toric stacks). Nevertheless, it is clear that not all toric Deligne-Mumford stacks are toric triples, since some of them are not orbifolds. Then the generalization of the D-collections defined for toric varieties by Cox in [14] was done by Iwanari in [23] in the orbifold case and by Perroni in [31] in the general case. In this paper, we define a Deligne-Mumford torus T as a Picard stack isomorphic to T BG, where T is a torus, and G is a finite abelian group; we then define a smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack as a smooth separated Deligne-Mumford stack with the action of a Deligne-Mumford torus T having an open dense orbit isomorphic to T. We prove a classification theorem for smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stacks and show that they coin- cide with those defined by [10]. The first main result of this paper is a bottom-up description of smooth toric Deligne- Mumford stacks, as follows: the structure morphism X X to the coarse moduli space factors canonically via the toric morphisms ! X Xrig Xcan X ! ! ! where X Xrig is an abelian gerbe over Xrig; Xrig Xcan is a fibered product of roots of toric divisors;! and Xcan X is the minimal orbifold! having X as coarse moduli space. Here X is a simplicial toric! variety, and Xrig and Xcan are smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stacks. More precisely, this bottom up construction can be stated as follows. Theorem I. Let X be a smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack with Deligne-Mumford torus isomorphic to T BG. Denote by X the coarse moduli space of X. Denote by n the number of rays of the fan of X. 1) For the meaning of orbifold in this paper, see §1.2.

Proposition 7.28). Moreover, we classify all complete toric orbifolds of dimension 1 (cf. Example 7.31). We also show that the natural map from the Brauer group of a smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack with trivial generic stabilizer to its open dense torus is injective (cf. Theorem 6.11). The second main result of this article is to give an explicit relation between the smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stacks and the stacky fans. Theorem II. Let X be a smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack with coarse moduli space the toric variety denoted by X. Let S be a fan of X in NQ : N nZ Q. Assume that ¼ the rays of S generate NQ. There exists a stacky fan such that X is isomorphic, as toric Deligne-Mumford stack, to the smooth Deligne-Mumford stack associated to the stacky fan. Moreover, if X has a trivial generic stabilizer then the stacky fan is unique. When the smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack X has a generic stabilizer the non- uniqueness of the stacky fan comes from three di¤erent choices. We refer to Remark 7.26 for a more precise statement. This result gives a geometrical interpretation of the combina- torial data of the stacky fan. In fact, the stacky fan can be read o¤ the geometry of the smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack just like the fan can be read o¤ the geometry of the toric variety. Notice that one can deduce the above theorem when X is an orbifold from [31], Theorem 2.5, and [23], Theorem 1.4, and the geometric characterization of [24], Theorem 1.3. In the first part of this article, we fix the conventions and collect some results on smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks, root constructions, rigidification, toric varieties, Picard stacks and the action of a Picard stack. In Section 2, we define Deligne-Mumford tori. Sec- tion 3 contains the definition of smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stacks. In Section 4, we first define canonical smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks and then we show that the canonical stack associated to a simplicial toric variety is a smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack (cf. Theorem 4.11). In Section 5, we prove the first part of Theorem I. In Section 6, we first prove in Proposition 6.9 that the essentially trivial banded gerbes over X are in bijection AUTHOR’S COPY | AUTORENEXEMPLAR AUTHOR’S COPY | AUTORENEXEMPLAR 204 Fantechi, Mann and Nironi, Deligne-Mumford stacks with finite extensions of the Picard group of X; then, we show that the natural map from the Brauer group of a smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack with trivial generic stabilizer to its open dense torus is injective (cf.
